Postcolonial Realms of Memory
‘An elegant yet accessible work, Postcolonial Realms of Memory not only exposes the colonial blind spot that left Pierre Nora’s Lieux de mémoire incomplete, but begins the long task of remedying it. This is a crucial intervention that the field has required for some time.’ Gemma King, Contemporary French Civilization
Terrain, n° 41/sept. 2003
Si pour l'homme politique et poète Edouard Glissant, il ne saurait y avoir de poésie qui ne soit politique, ce sont surtout ici les usages sociaux et politiques de la poésie qui sont analysés dans le volume. Qu’il s’agisse d’une poésie officielle, mise au service du pouvoir — celui du roi pendant les guerres de religion, celui des nationalistes serbes ou de la Ligue du nord italienne aujourd’hui —, d’une poésie révolutionnaire, protestataire ou partisane — celle des Touaregs en exil, des chanteurs occitans des années 1970 — on ne peut que constater l’omniprésence de ce mode d’expression dans la vie politique.
The Power of Place
This volume explores the nature of power - the power of kings, emperors and popes - through the places that these rulers created or developed, including palaces, cities, landscapes, holy places, inauguration sites and burial places. Ranging across all of Europe from the 1st to the 16th centuries, David Rollason examines how these places conveyed messages of power and what those messages were.

Approche épilinguistique des adolescents québécois sur la situation linguistique au Québec
Hlavním tématem této knihy je empirické ověření obecně rozšířených domněnek týkajících se postoje mladých lidí k aktuální jazykové situaci v kanadské provincii Quebec. Analýza založená na kvantitativním a kvalitativním výzkumu v terénu (Gatineau, Montreal, Quebec, Saint-Gabriel-de-Valcartier) se skládá z 683 dotazníků a více než 7 hodin zvukových záznamů rozhovorů. Analýza pracuje s následujícími faktory: věk (průměrný věk respondentů byl 14,8 let), pohlaví a bydliště. Rozdělení respondentů do tří jazykových skupin následně přispělo ke zjištění, zda při diverzifikaci jejich názorů hraje zásadní roli jednojazyčnost, dvojjazyčnost či vícejazyčnost.
Funambule
Comment mieux marquer le vingtième anniversaire - une belle longévité ! - d'une association d'écrivains, rassemblant des auteurs et des autrices d'Occitanie, qu'en publiant le fruit de leur créativité ? C'est le pari - et le défi - de ce livre foisonnant qui propose une large compilation de textes parus au fil des années dans Funambule, la revue numérique associée au site internet d'Autour des auteurs en Occitanie. "... Donc place aux mots, aux textes brefs : inédits - résonances selon nos caractères -, chroniques à propos de livres oubliés ou récents, entretiens, états de la vie du livre, tout ce qui s'approchera de cet acte d'écrire qui retient le temps, modifie le regard - peut-être rend un peu moins barbare..." (Extrait de l'édito du n° 1 de Funambule par Françoise Renaud)
Governing International Labour Migration
This book offers a critical examination of the way in which the nature and governance of international labour migration is changing within a globalizing environment. It examines how labour mobility and the governance of labour migration are changing by exploring the links between political economy and differentiated forms of labour migration. Additionally, it considers the effects of new social models of inclusion and exclusion on labour migration. Therefore, the book troubles the conventional dichotomies and categorizations - permanent vs. temporary; skilled vs. unskilled; legal vs. illegal -- that have informed migration studies and regulatory frameworks. Theoretically, this volume contributes to an ongoing project of reframing the study of migration within politics and international relations. Bringing together an interdisciplinary group of scholars, drawing on examples from the European Union, North America and Asia, Governing International Labour Migration will be of interest to students and scholars of migration studies, IPE, international relations, and economics.
France's Colonial Legacies
In an era of commemoration, France's Colonial Legacies contributes to the debates taking place in France about the place of empire in the contemporary life of the nation, debates that have been underway since the 1990s and that now reach across public life and society with manifestations in the French parliament, media and universities. France's empire and the gradual process of its loss is one of the defining narratives of the contemporary nation, contributing to the construction of its image both on the international stage and at home. While certain intellectuals present the imperial period as an historical irrelevance that ended in the years following the Second World War, the contested l...
